Abstract

Data that is transient over an unsecured wireless network is always susceptible to being intercepted by anyone within the range of the wireless signal.Hence providing secure communication to keep the user's information and devices safe when connected wirelessly has become one of the major concerns.Quantum cryptography provides a solution towards absolute communication security over the network by encoding information as polarized photons, which can be sent through the air.This paper explores on the aspect of application of quantum cryptography in wireless networks.In this paper we present a methodology for integrating quantum cryptography and security of IEEE 802.11 wireless networks in terms of distribution of the encryption keys.

At present a majority of computer and telecommunication systems requires data security when data is transmitted the over next generation network. Data that is transient over an unsecured Next Generation wireless network is always susceptible to being intercepted by anyone within the range of the wireless signal. Hence providing secure communication to keep the user's information and devices safe when connected wirelessly has become one of the major concerns. Quantum cryptography algorithm provides a solution towards absolute communication security over the next generation network by encoding information as polarized photons, which can be sent through the air security issues and services using cryptographic algorithm explained in this chapter.

Quantum Cryptography for Wireless Network Communications

Xu Guang Huang, Shirantha Wijesekera, Dharmendra Kumar Sharma

It is well known that wireless networks have become one of the most important part used communication systems, in particular for ubiquitous computing. However, providing secure communication for wireless networks has become one of the prime concerns. Quantum cryptography, namely quantum key distribution (QKD), offers the promise of unconditional security. In this paper, we shall extend our previous research work to a new method of integrating quantum cryptography for key distribution in 802.11 wireless networks. Our contributions, based on our previous results [1], are as follows: (a) We shall show how QKD can be used in IEEE 802.11 wireless networks to securely distribute the keys. (b) We shall introduce a method that take the advantage of mutual authentication features offered by some EAP variants of 802.1X port-based network access control. (c) finally, we present a new code called quantum message integrity code (Q-MIC) which provides mutual authentication between the two communication parties and its implementation.

Integration of quantum cryptography in 802.11 networks

Thi Mai Trang Nguyen, Mohamed Ali Sfaxi, Solange Ghernaouti-Hélie

Quantum cryptography is considered as a promising solution towards absolute security in long-term cryptosystems. While the application of quantum cryptography in fiber networks has significant advances, research on the application of quantum cryptography in mobile networks is still premature. In this paper, we analyze the interests of using quantum technique for the distribution of encryption keys in 802.11 wireless networks. We also propose a scheme for the integration of quantum cryptography in 802.11i security mechanisms for the establishment of the PTK (pairwise transient key).

Secure Communication in 802.11 Networks with a Novel Protocol Using Quantum Cryptography

Xu Guang Huang, Shirantha Wijesekera, Dharmendra Kumar Sharma

It is the fact that wireless local area networks are increasingly deployed by businesses, government and SOHO users as they offer many advantages to its customers with mobility, flexibility, convenience etc. It opened a wide range of new commercial areas for hardware vendors, at low cost. This justifies why wireless networks have become one of the most widely used communication systems in the world. However, since there are no boundaries in wireless networks, they are vulnerable to security threats than wired networks. Therefore, providing secure communication for wireless networks has become one of the prime concerns. Quantum cryptography, to be precise, Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), offers the promise of unconditional security. In this paper, we extend our previous research work of how QKD can be used in IEEE 802.11 wireless networks to ensure secure key distribution. Our contributions in this paper are as follows: (1) We discussed how QKD can be used in IEEE 802.11 wireless networks to securely distribute the keys. (2) We use new protocol QKD. (3) We introduced a method that take the advantage of mutual authentication features offered by some EAP variants of 802.1X Port-Based Network Access Control. (4) Finally, we present a new code called Quantum Message Integrity Code (Q-MIC) which provides mutual authentication between the two communication parties.
